DSMSERV LOADDB (Reload the Database)

Use this command to reload a dumped TSM database in optimal order. No other server activity is allowed while reloading the database. Perform the applicable steps in this order:

  1. When recovering from a failure use the DSMSERV LOADFORMAT and create a new database and recovery log.

    Attention: Do not reinitialize DISK storage pool volumes.

  2. Save the current sequential volume history to a file. The load process regresses the sequential volume history information.
  3. The DSMSERV LOADDB command specifies a device class to be used when reading the database information. Ensure that a device configuration file that includes the definitions for this device class and for any required libraries and drives is available.

    Attention: The DSMSERV LOADDB command only supports the use of manual libraries (LIBTYPE=MANUAL in the DEFINE LIBRARY command).

  4. Issue the DSMSERV LOADDB command.
  5. A message at the end of the output from the DSMSERV LOADDB indicates if you must audit the database. If the server was quiesced when it was halted and the DSMSERV DUMPDB was issued, you do not need to audit the database. Otherwise, you must issue the DSMSERV AUDITDB command to ensure that the database is returned to a synchronized state after it is reloaded. If there was any storage pool volume activity after the dump, audit the volumes by using the AUDIT VOLUME command.

Syntax

>>-DSMSERV LOADDB---DEVclass--=--device_class_name-------------->
 
                           .-,-------------.
                           V               |
>-------VOLumenames--=--+----volume_name---+-+-----------------><
                        '-FILE:file_name-----'
 

Parameters

DEVclass
Specifies the device class to be used when reading the database information. This parameter is required.

VOLumenames (Required)
Specifies the volumes needed to load the database. Possible values are:

volume_name
The names of the volumes. To specify multiple volumes, separate the names with commas and no intervening spaces. List the volumes in the order in which they were used for the DSMSERV DUMPDB command.

FILE:file_name
The name of a file that contains a list of the volumes. Each volume name must be on a separate line in the order in which they were used for the DSMSERV DUMPDB command.

Examples

Task 1

Load the database from the DB0001, DB0002, and DB0003 tapes.

Command:
dsmserv loaddb devclass=tapeclass 
volumenames=db0001,db0002,db0003

Task 2

Load the database using tapes listed in the ADSM.VOLLIST file.

Command:
dsmserv loaddb devclass=tapeclass 
volumenames=file:adsm.vollist
